How dull a woman's body is compared
to all the gorgeous finery she wears -
clothes in their infinite variety,
shoes, hats and gloves, scarves, hand-bags, jewellery,
perfumes and painted nails, coiffured hair,
and make-up enough to make men stare.

So how would merely being nude attract
as much attention as when dressed ? In fact,
how could the monotone of naked flesh,
whether firm or flabby, wrinkled or fresh,
yet offer anything clothed beauty lacked ?
Anticipation of the sexual act !

In those societies where nakedness
is normal, only youthful shapeliness
might raise excitement; older nudity
tends to sag and wobble apology;
without an invitation to intercourse
most female bodies fail to impress.

Marriage is also nakedness, revealing
characters more then bodies, concealing
only his fantasies. Ladies, mark you,
without the challenge of conquest or taboo
the lure of novelty tempts him to cheating;
it's not your body but companionship that keeps him.
